maturin Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 One look at that wave and you can tell that it's Aivazovsky. This, by the way, is our very own Mercury: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schuetzengel Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 im wondering if in 200 years people will makes virtual game simulations of the 21 century and use holywood movies as reference. and people in the forums will say: our cars explode all the time this is no fun. but the developers will say: look at all the historic holywood movies, all the cars are exploding! and historical enthusiast will reference to michael bay to prove that point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
